Devotion on Christian Living, Wisdom Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance … (Proverbs 1:5).  Driver’s Education involves four stages: classroom, written test, observation, and behind the wheel. In the classroom phase, a beginner hears about driving. But hearing alone does not guarantee a passing grade on the written test. One must learn the materi...

A Quiet Place is a devotion by Terri Bentley, originally published by LWML

I want to be a fireman when I grow up. I want to be a doctor or a nurse — a teacher — an astronaut — a police officer — a banker — and the list goes on and on. Children are always excited about what they can be and do when they are grown or mature. For them, the sky is the limit! How sad that, as adults, we often forget the excitement of growing and changing.  This can be true of Christians also....

Devotion on Comfort and Hope, Psalm 71:1–3.  In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame! In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me, and save me! Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come; you have given the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress (Psalm 71:1–3). When we ask for a rock of safety, we are asking God to...

Devotion on Relationship with God, Trust, Psalm 91:1–2. 2 pages. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust” (Psalm 91:1–2). There is an even greater need for shelter and protection than physical shelter. It is the protection of our faith in our redeeming Lord and Savior. O...

What is your heart seeing? Have you opened the eyes of your heart to behold His beauty or is there a fog over your rose-colored glasses? Are you caught up in the “I wanna be first” world?

“Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the Lord: look to the rock from which you were hewn ,and to the quarry from which you were dug. Look at Abraham, your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for he was but one when I called him, that I might bless him and multiply him”(Isaiah51:1-2).   An insurance company had the Rock of Gibraltar for its logo, encouraging the purchase of a “p...

We are facing some tough times that will require each Christian to use her/his God-given gifts to deal with “slime.” God gives us the opportunity to exercise our faith when we come face-to-face with tragedies such as pandemics, droughts, hurricanes, terrorism, wars, immigration issues, serious illnesses, etc. We are called to reach out to the hurting. Let us take the gifts we have and share them w...

Slipping and sliding looks different from different perspectives…fun, scary, adventurous, frustrating, or frightening.

Faith must be in God, the Father and Creator; Jesus, the Son and Savior; and the Holy Spirit, Counselor an...

A Rock for All Ages is a devotion on trust by Flo Hoffman, originally published by LWML.

Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about what happens to you (1 Peter 5:7 New Living Translation). From the time we are little children, we press the boundaries for greater self-reliance, quickly falling into the sin of being self-sufficient, an attribute we think is important for getting along in life. It’s a matter of pride and survival, of our sinful human nature. After all, w...

“Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18a). Where has sin stained your life? Take comfort and rejoice that in the washing of Holy Baptism, you are covered with Christ’s robe of righteousness … white as snow! White as Snow is a devotion on baptism by Rev. Kristopher Whitby, Arlington Heights, Illinois, originally...

The Word tells us of the Lord’s miraculous gifts. He has touched you in so many ways and sent you to go back into life well.

Your year will be much better and much more productive and more meaningful if and when you thank Je...

The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God (Isaiah 35:1-2). Isaiah paints an image with words that is especially meaningful in Advent. He Comes...
